Why Plant Spring Flurry Serviceberry?
The Spring Flurry® Allegheny Serviceberry will give you something to celebrate in every season. In early spring, you’ll look forward to its pretty, lacy white blossoms, which indicate that winter is behind us and warmer days lie ahead. In summer, you’ll smile as the songbirds swoop in to nab its juicy purple fruits. In fall, you’ll gaze at the warm red-orange glow of its autumn foliage. And in winter, with its limbs laid bare, you’ll appreciate its smooth gray bark. Plant Spring Flurry® Serviceberry by your front walk, in your entryway garden, or in any high-traffic area where you need something that looks good every day of the year. Serviceberries are delightful little trees that are native to nearly every state of the Union (sorry, Hawaii). They light up wild spaces with their flowers and fall color and provide important nourishment to wildlife. Spring Flurry® Allegheny Serviceberry was introduced by Keith Warren of J. Frank Schmidt Nursery of Boring, Oregon. He was looking for a tree that was faster growing, more upright, and narrower than was typical for the species. In 1990, Warren examined over one thousand seedlings to find the one that was the tallest and straightest of the bunch. He patented the tree in 2003.
How to use Spring Flurry Serviceberry in the landscape?
The birds are fond of the sweet berries of Spring Flurry® Serviceberry, but you may want to keep the fruits for yourself. They taste a little like blueberries, and like blueberries, they’re packed with healthy antioxidants. Try them on your morning cereal or use them in pies, pancakes, preserves, muffins, or smoothies.
How To Plant Spring Flurry Serviceberry
Fall color on the Spring Flurry® Serviceberry will be most intense in full sun, but the foliage quality will be best if the tree receives some shade during the hottest part of the day. The soil should be enriched with organic matter, moist but well drained. A generous layer of wood chips or shredded bark mulch will help to hold in moisture and moderate temperatures in the root zone. Irrigate with the Bower & Branch Elements™ Watering System and feed with Elements™ Fertilizer to get your tree off to a good start. Prune out suckers promptly if they do appear and keep trimmers and other lawn equipment away from the trunk, as the bark of Spring Flurry®—like all Serviceberries—is thin and vulnerable to damage.
How Does Shipping Work?

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
